Thanks, Jeff.  I recognize some of the language in the mm chapter you
attached from the DWB 2 mm documentation, and it may go back farther
than that within AT&T.

"Use of other requests without fully understanding their implications
very often leads to disaster!" (p. 5-9)

Thank you!  Something interesting went wrong on page 5-78.  It looks
_almost_ like someone forgot to run tbl(1)...but not quite.  Normally
when that happens one sees the table format and options bleed into the
text, like box center; l l c.  I think something else is the matter.
